The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1212 Focus Returns
As the saying goes, if the East is dark, the West will be bright.

Oscar has always been high-handed and ignored the vase idols. On the one hand, it tried to use these vases to win the attention of young audiences, and on the other hand, it condescendingly refused to give them recognition.

Stand and stand again.

Anyway, even Tom Cruise and Leonardo Dicaprio were flattering the academy the whole time, weren't they?

The Grammys have bravely kept up with the times, embracing the changes in popularity with open arms, choosing the latter between being stubborn and keeping up with the times, while at the same time boldly speaking out for niche culture at a professional level.

Take drastic measures.

Unlike the Academy, the Grammy nomination list each year is worthy of special attention, and it always discovers new music and new singers.

This time, it is no exception.

When the Oscars didn't take Anson seriously at all, took it for granted that Anson would not refuse to attend the awards ceremony, and didn't remember the lesson of last year, the Grammys opened their arms and embraced Anson's strong rise, instantly attracting all attention.

In the list of nominees for the 46th Grammy Awards, August 31st has undoubtedly become a major focus, reminding people with practical actions:
Don’t forget that music plays an important role in Anson’s overall rise this year. Even if the film industry refuses to recognize Anson’s “strength”, in the music world, they will always reject labels and discrimination.

Music has no boundaries.

In this year's Grammy nomination list, August 31st received six nominations including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, New Artist of the Year, Best Rock Group or Duo/Group, and Best Alternative Album!
Boom, boom boom boom!
There was total shock and commotion.

There is no doubt that August 2003st is the biggest discovery of . They emerged out of nowhere with an alternative and innovative attitude, shocked the entire music world, and deserved the nomination for Newcomer of the Year.

In this nomination, August 31st will face off against Evanescence, 50 Cent, Sean Paul and Heather Headley.

Each of them is very strong, and is even praised by the media as the strongest substitute lineup in the past decade.

However, the August 31st band still temporarily takes the lead with its comprehensive strength and super high popularity, because they also won all the other three comprehensive award nominations, showing a powerful momentum to sweep away thousands of opponents.

There are numerous Grammy awards, too numerous to count. Every year, 70% of the awards are decided in advance before the awards ceremony, and only a few heavyweight awards are announced on the night of the awards ceremony.

These awards are divided into category departments and comprehensive departments.

The categories include pop, country, rock, hip-hop and so on.

The comprehensive category has four major awards: Production of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, and Newcomer of the Year.

The categories change every year. In recent years, jazz, bluegrass and other music have gradually declined, and it may not even be possible to find five excellent nominees throughout the year. Therefore, adhering to the principle of "better to have nothing than to have something mediocre", the Grammy Awards may not necessarily be established every year.

For example, this year, should the album "Midsummer Midnight" be classified as a rock album?
It's a bit ambiguous. After all, the way the band uses different instruments to arrange and perform music has deviated from people's simple understanding of rock.

In addition, since there were no five rock albums good enough to fill the nominations this year, the Grammys simply cancelled the Best Rock Album award.

Instead, the album "Midsummer Midnight" was nominated for Best Alternative Album.

The Grammys' approach is in stark contrast to the ostentatious and grandstanding attitude of some award ceremonies.

Yes, this is a reference to the Golden Globe Awards.

Precisely because of this, there have been many changes in the awards for the genre departments, and the weight and authority of the comprehensive department awards have been highlighted. These four major awards are open to all musicians of all music genres. As long as they release music during the Grammy registration period, they are eligible to compete.

For this reason, the comprehensive award has also earned the title of "general award", meaning it runs through all types and does not distinguish between types.

Every year, the winners of the four major comprehensive awards are the focus of everyone's attention. Now, August 31st has not only been nominated for the New Artist of the Year, but also received nominations in the other three comprehensive categories, which is a huge momentum -

In fact, August 31st is not only ahead of other New Artist of the Year contenders such as Fifty Cent and Evanescence, but they are also the only artist among this year's Grammy candidates to have swept all four major category nominations.

only!

That's the Grammy attitude.

While the Oscars were still hesitant and concerned about Anson's status as a vase, the Grammys recognized Anson's talent by nominating him in four major comprehensive categories.

Among the four major categories of nominations, Song of the Year, Album of the Year and New Artist of the Year are all awarded to the singers themselves. The only exception is Production of the Year, which is awarded to the producers, including songwriters and producers.

Therefore, Anson Wood's name occupies a seat in this year's annual production nominations.

This is the correct way to treat Anson.

In the end, August 31st led this year's Grammy nominations with six, joining Beyoncé, Outkast, and Jay-Z.

However, even Beyoncé, even Fifty Cent, even Outkast, none of them were nominated for all the comprehensive awards. Even if New Artist of the Year is excluded, Beyoncé and Outkast were not nominated for all the other three comprehensive categories.

In other words, August 31st stands out from the crowd.

From Justin Timberlake to Coldplay, from Luther Vandross to Eminem, in a year when many stars gathered and the music market exploded, August 31st successfully stood out!

No wonder!
No wonder it caused a sensation not only in the music field but also in the entire entertainment industry.

No wonder the media launched a massive attack when Oscar remained silent.

Look at the Grammy Awards, which not only extended an olive branch to Anson, but also did so in such a formal and grand manner. This is a reflection of Anson's current influence in the entire North American and even global market.

Not to mention Johnny Depp, even Leonardo Dicaprio in his prime might be slightly inferior.

As a result, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of the United States has adopted such a lofty attitude.

The problem is, if they are really noble, then it's fine, but what about Johnny Depp? What about Jude Law?

In other words, it's not that the Oscars don't like vases, it's just that they don't like Anson. Just look at the lessons learned from last year's awards ceremony.

It’s really haha.

There is no harm without comparison. The Grammys stabbed the Oscars in the back and the latter deserved it.

At the first moment, Vanity Fair reported that Anson and the members of the August 31st band reunited to rehearse for a special performance on the Grammy Awards stage. Anson's public relations spokesperson Eve also confirmed the report.

“Anson is looking forward to it.”

"The Grammys are the hall that everyone dreams of. No matter if you are nominated or not, it is an honor to be able to perform on the stage. Anson is actively preparing."

"Oscar? Are you asking about Oscar?"
